Kinematic Geometry of Circular Surfaces With a Fixed Radius Based on Euclidean Invariants

A circular surface with a fixed radius can be swept out by moving a circle with its center following a curve, which acts as the spine curve. Based on a system of Euclidean invariants, the paper identifies those circular surfaces taking lines of curvature as generating circles and further explores th...
